In this season of thanks, I would like to thank all the wonderful employers that recruit at JMU. Our students are so lucky to have great companies both large and small, seeking them out for internships and full time positions. Companies that hire JMU students, gain new employees that are problem solvers, critical thinkers, and work well on teams. If you'd like to bring some Dukes to your team, register today for the University Career Fair, Feb. 18 & 19, 2025. We'd love to have you on campus recruiting our well-prepared and terrific students. https://lnkd.in/eCFpzj4X
